Leeds United are preparing for a match against Derby County.
Leeds United manager Thomas Christiansen has been speaking to BBC Radio Leeds ahead of his side’s Championship match against Derby County later this week, and he has admitted that there are reasons to be positive despite the Whites’ recent setbacks.
Leeds lost 2-1 to Sheffield United on Friday evening, just a few days after being eliminated from the EFL Cup and, aside from an impressive win against Bristol City, the Whites have endured a poor run of form in recent weeks.
But despite defeats against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City and Reading, Leeds remain in a healthy position and that is something their manager is eager to point out.
“We’re still in the position of the play-offs,” Christiansen told Adam Pope. “We are happy with that.”
The trick for Leeds is to ensure they remain in the top six between now and the end of the season, which is easier said than done given the competitive nature of the division and the issues that continue to blight this much-changed Leeds side.
With a few minor alterations, and the return to form of some of their key players, there is every chance Leeds can finally make it back to the Premier League, and then Christiansen will be considerably happier…as will the club’s fans.
